Thebincs In the Wrest
Within recent months numerous articles have appeared in print dealing
with the progress and prosperity of the western provinces of Canada in
which the wonderful fertility and* productive capacity of the agricultural
lands of the West, yielding hundreds of millions of new wealth annually,
has been referred to, and the fact noted that in per capita wealth of the
people these newer provinces of the West have outstripped the older prov-
inces of the East,
A correspondent of a western farm journal, having read these articles,
asks; “Why, with such tremendous accomplishments to our credit, have not
western farm men and women acquired a per capita income that would
permit us to maintain comfortable, nicely decorated, well equipped, modern
homes with some time to play as well as to work?”
The question is a pertinent one, but, at the same time is not its general
effect to create a false impression of actual conditions of farm life in the
West? Nevertheless, it is deserving of an answer.
In the first place, it is well to consider that in no part of Canada, and
probably in no place in the world, is the wealth of the country so evenly
distributed among all the people as is the case in Western Canada. In
Wastern Canada, and to an eyen greater extent in the United’ States and the
older countries of the world great accumulations of wealth are possessed
by a few individuals, families and corporations, while living in the same

by Bliss Carman
Bassano has a coal mine that ut! ty the Garden of Eden, planted by

quality of the coal is good, although} qnere were goodly trees in the
not equal to that obtained in the
past years the mine has been oper-
coal consumed in Bassano and sur-
rounding district. The operation of
the mine hag been attended with a
rather small measure of success, but
ye cannot say whether this was cue
to management or economic con-
ditions, or both. There is a good
market here for coal during the
winter months, and it seems un-
fortunate that a home industry of
thig kind does not thrive. It would
provide work for a number of men;
it would imerease the amount of
business in town, and it would con-
tribute to the general prosperity of
the community.

SUNSHINE
Organized by The Calgary Herald’
in 1912, the Sunshine Fund is a bit of
romantic philanthropy that every
‘Christmas spreads joy and cheer in
the homes of the poor and needy:
Not only at Christmas tinfe, byt duyr-
ing the whole.year, relief work is
carried on.
The public hag responded generous-
ly to Sunshine’s annual appeal for
funds. In 1912 a total of $2,934.36
was subscribed, This has increased
‘each year until in 1927 it was
$15,101.22. Of this sum 113 points
outside Calgary subscribed $1,771.26.
Sunshine again makes a Christmas
appeal. Anything you can give will
be accepted with thanks. Your gift
will bring joy in some poor home on
Christmas morning and gladden the
hearts of children who might other-
wise have a gloomy and disappoint-
ing Christnias.

sunshine in winter, therefore, all the
more reason for us to make the
most Of the sunshine that there is.
In Summer, we are either outside
in the fresh air, or inside with win-
dows open. We live and sleep in air
that is in motion to some extent.. In,
winter we should remember that a)
most important factor is to work and |
sleep in an atmosphere which has a.
certain amount of motion. Accord-|
fng to the weather, windows and
‘| doors should be opened sufficiently

that they all suffer from a loss of
physical tone. We need exercise and
play all through the year,
Living and working in overheated
rooms are responsible, we believe,
for much of the increase in colds,
pneumonia, and bronchitis in the
winter. The best temperature to)
maintain in the house and the office
is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. We would
recommend keeping a thermometer
where it may be easily seen, in order
to maintain a chetk upon the tem-
perature.
If people would exercise in the
winter, live and work in ventilated
rooms of proper temperature, and
dress according to'the temperature,
more of them would escape the usual
colds, bronchitis and pneumonia that
prey upon us in winter.

Throughout the entire speed range, it performs with a
smoothness and quietness of ‘operation that have never be-
fore been approached in a low-priced automobile. At the
slower speeds of city traffic it idles along with wonderful
silence and ease. On boulevards and country roads it
responds with an eagerness that is a constant delight. It
takes the longest and steepest hills with an abundant reserve
of power that is a source of pride to the driver.
And its economy of operation averages better than 20 miles
to the gallon of gasoline!
In appearance, this Outstanding Chev-

tinctively appointed that it rivals the
costliest custom creations. The new

in all closed models—and reveal the

Many, of the circus and vaudeville
feats which are performed today
were performed in the circuses and
amphitheatres which drew large au-
diences 5,000 years ago. Frescoes
were recently uncovered in Crete by
an eminent archaeologist, which
represent a charging bull about to
toss a girl poised on its horns, while
another girl is standing’ behind ap-
parently waitng ‘to catch her. A
man is represented turning somer-

performers are dressed in costumes
which very much resemble those

on the part of Canadian engineers
towards the solution of the trans-
portation problems of this continent.
As the National System was the
pioneer, three years ago in placing in
service the first oil-electric car of
200 horse power rating, its engineers
have maintained leadership by the in-
troduction of this locomotive, new in
character and design for fast pas-
senger and freight service.
When the first oil-electric car was
put into service by the Canadian Na-
tional Railways, it established twu
world’s records in rail transportation
by a cnotinuougs run from Montreal
to Vancouver, a distance of 2,937
miles, in 67 hours, and by a contin-
uous operation of the engine during
that period, the longest non-stop run
in rail history. The new oil-electric
locomotive is considered to be capa-
ble of even greater performance.
The new locomotive is the furth-
er practical application of the use of
fuel oil in railway transportation in
which an oil engine is used to drive

energy to the propulsion motors,

consists of two units, which may
be operated jointly or independently,
as required, and it is one unit which}
is now in service. When the seconu

there was a mass of heaving, foam-

The little birds known as water-

which the turbulent waters roared,
they bobbed and curtsied, then flew
in under the waterfall to their nests

overhead, like a speck in the azure
sky, a bald eagle careened and soar-
ed. Over all was the thunder of the
cataract drumming in Donald’s ears
and giving to the e¢arth a gentle
‘tremor.
He began eagerly to joint his rod,
attach leader. and flies, and unfold
his landing-net.. “There,” he said,

Donald leaned forward; but with a
quick flirt of its tail the trout shot to
the surface, sending a shower of
spray in his face.. Then, leaping and
dashing—the reel singing -merrily—it
crossed the pool with renewed

“fairy ring’ of mushrooms about
twelve feet across. The beginning
‘of these rings may be a single mush-
room which drops its spores in a cir-
cle about its base. The next season
a@ smaller ring of mushrooms drops
a larger ring of spores, and so the
circle expands year by year, exactly
as the ripple spread out on the sur-
face of a pond when a stone is cast
into the water.
Some fairy rings have been esti-
mated to be six hundred years old.
Legend informs us that these rings
are magic circles within which elves
and other nimble fairy folk hold their
revels at midnight. There is another
superstition that the rings mark the
spots Where bolts of lightning have
struck the ground.
“A fairy-land” breathed Donald as
he stepped into the open.
It was warm, but now and again a
breéze, that had swept between snow-
capped peaks, dropped down into the
valley and made the pines sway and
the willow and alder leaves coolly
rustle. At the time of these visita-
tions Donald threw back his head and
drew in deep breaths of tae flower-
scented breeze..
‘Making his way ‘to the foot of the
tiny falls Donald seated himself on
a soft bed of moss and proceeded to
eat his lunch. Two birds, of the spe-
cies known as ‘“camp-robbers” or
“whiskey-jacks,” dropped ghost-like
_| from nowhere and eyed him reproach-
rash fully: ‘He threw them a_ crust of

top,of a spruce to enjoy his meal at
leisure.
Donald's happy laugh rang
throughout the sylvan glade and was

the reel ceased and the rod was near-

‘the line had tangled‘at the reel. The
slender rod was bent nearly to a cir-

‘It won't stand it,” muttered Don-
ald in a fever of excitement. He low-
ered the tip slowly to relieve the
strain on the rod, all the while work-
ing desperately to free the tangle.
Snap! The fish with a tremendous
tug parted the leader, and with one
last triumphant leap to flaunt its bril-
liant colours, it disappeared.

ing no sound on the thick carpet of

gazed upon a scehe that held him en-

Donald selected a soft spot in the

stretched himself at full length on
his back, and lighted a cigarette. The
sound of murmuring waters, the rus-
tle of leaves, the gentle sighing of the
pines, and the fragrant, , balmy’. air
that fanned his face held” a soporific
influence. He watched a fleecy cloud
floating far above the tree-tops in the
ethereal blue. A long-tafled wren} of
the white throat and white eye lines
sang joyously from ‘a tree nearby.
Donald's eyes closed slowly, and in

brushed quickly with His hand as

thought, and lay with eyes half-

Great Singer Had One Fallere
Patti Attempted Role For Which She
Was Not Fitted.
The failure of'many artistes who
remain unknown comes from the fact
that they do not know in what direc- |
tion their power lies. The failures of
great artistes nearly always come
from their lack of knowledge of their
own limitations. Few can, indeed,
go on for long years with a record
like that of Madame- Adelina Patti,
of whom it is said that she had but
“| one real failure in her artistic life.
She was over fifty years old and had
been a leading opera singer for over
thirty years when, attracted by the
opportunities which the role of Car-
men gives, she undertook to sing it
at Convent Garden, London, Eng.
With her voice still beautiful, - her
stage technique at its strongest and
her immense popularity, even she
could not adapt herself to a role that
was conceived for a different type of|
voice and a different type of person.
She, the greatest singer pf: the cen-

Valuable Oil Wasted
Millions Of Tons Could Be Extracted
Before Coal Is Used For Fuel
How much good money. goes up
chimneys in the form of coal and
smoke was described at Pittsburg to
the second International Conference
on Bituminous Coal by R. H. Crozier,
manager of Mineral Oils Extraction,
Ltd., London, England.
He said that from the raw coal
burned’ in Great Britain annually.
seven million tons of oil might be
saved by extraction before burning
the coal, and with improvements of
the coal for heating purposes,
Homes, not factories, burn most
of this oil-wasted fuel, he said, ana
“cause an enormous indirect waste,
owing to deterioratng effect upon
property of smoke-laden atmosphere,
and also serious menace to the
health and physical development of
our cities.”
He forecast that ‘the inevitable oi}
shortage’ of the future will force re-
covery of oil from coal before it is
used for fuel.

JAMES JOHNSTON, “The Quality Store”
With eleven rinks lined up, the
Bassano ‘Curling Club is all ready to
start the season’s sport, §J00d pro-
gress is being made with the build-
ing up of the curling ice, but it will
be next week before the two sheets
are ready for use. If the weather
‘urns milder, as is probable, the
opening games will be still later.
George Stiles has assembled a rink,
Which makes eleven rinks in all, and
possibly there will be another rink.
C, McMillan, new manager of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce, will
play third for Geo, Stiles.
Greater enthusiasm in curling is
being displayed that last year. With
eleven rinks now ready and perhaps
a twelfth yet to join, the club has
a larger membership than last seas-
on when there were ten rinks.

“How were the specimens pre-

“The water filtering through | the
